Hi all,

Katoomba Airfield has been made available to us for Saturday 6'th of November.

Circumstances didn't allow for an October session to be organised.

November will see much warmer conditions for us, YIPEEE! Shouldn't need to call upon the combustion heater until next winter.

Last year's spring/summer sessions also saw sqadrons of insectiverous bats help keep mozzies away. I got one heck of a fright the first time one of these miniature flying aces flew millimeters from my nose, for me to freak at the shadow and puff of air infront of my eyes!

As always, this site is purely BYO everything.

For those unfamiliar with the place, access is via Medlow Bath.

Note that the last 3km leading to the Airfield is an unsealed road, and despite it having been re-graded earlier this year, this winter's heavy rain has caused some erosion, so take it easy.

Also, the office building is available to us to stay overnight. Kids are welcome too, though loo facilities require torch light, otherwise its a stroll to the otherside of the airstrip...

Everyone is welcome. Scope, no scope, no problem. Binoculars are fantastic if that is all you have- you'll be astounded what is within the range of binoculars.

With sunset being around 7pm, I'll try to be there around 6, 6:30.

Mental.
